Abstract
This case explores the strategic management of a Canadian public sector organization, the mandate of which is pure and applied scientific and technical research and development. In April 1988, the Director is concerned about directions which the Institute will be taking in the year to come and in the future. There are a number of problems arising from the increasing requirement for the Institute to cater for private sector clients. These problems involve external marketing of the Institute''s capabilities, and internal operational issues of project management, and of the relative importance of pure research versus client projects. The case enables discussion of these problems, and the means of dealing with them. Changes can be proposed to the present organization structure and administrative systems, with the aim of increasing organizational effectiveness in the future.
